SheedY Talks.

The tall and -proportioned figure of
T. f. Sheedy, j Ohm l.. Sullivan's manager,
yesterday graced the rotunda of the Mic
ollet house. He has come on in advance Of
of the great unknocked-out to oversee the
arrangements that are being made for the
Cardiff meeting Tuesday evening. He was
pushing the balls about billiard table in a
manner that did not indicate that he had
wasted many hours in acquiring a knowl-
edge OF the seductive game, when he was
approached by a GLOBE reporter.
Yes, we had pleasant trip through the
West, he answered, land it has proven
more successful in a financial way than
anticipated. John is in splendid condition,
and so is the entire combination, for that
matter. Your man Cardiff may last four
rounds. He'll be doing pretty we'll if he stays
that long. although he's strong, hearty and
young. No don't anticipate that John is
going to get hurt any by Cardiff's terrible
right, and have booked him to appear at
Fargo, 20O miles distant, the following night.
You can bet the fight will be on its merits.
John wont let up on any of these
people. L couldn't get him to if
wanted to. Do you suppose he'd allow one
OF these fellows to make capital for them
selves at his expense? guess not. If Cardiff
stays six rounds it will be because John can't
knock him out. He'll be the first man to do
It, too, and I'll bet $1,000 he don't.
don't know whether the Killen meeting
VIII take place as early as the 9Th or not.
He's big enough to face Sullivan if his heart
is in the right place. If he comes to the front
now he'll get the last chancet.o have per-
centage of gate receipts. After
this John is going to fight for
all or nothing. We can make d more
money giving exhibitions than these other
people can by fighting. Barnum has offered
US $4,000 for six weeks in New York and we
wont take it. Cardiff will get 25 per cent. of
the gate receipts and 1 am willing to give him
81 200 for his share now, and that's good
chunk of money to give away
Talking about the champion, Sheedy
said that Dempsey's offer to stand six rounds
had never been accompanied by cash and
no attention has been paid to it for that
reason. If Jem Smith comes over from
England Sullivan will be ready to meet him
at any time. If he does not, Sullivan will

A QUartette of Brutal AsSasSius
Meet Their Fate at Fort Smith.
Ark.
ST.. LOUIS, Jan. 14.-Albert Odell, James
Lamb, john T. Echols and John Stephens
were hanged at Fort Smith, Ark, at noon
to-day, for murder committed in the Indian
Territory. The execution passed off quietly,
only about one hundred witnesses being
present. On Dec. 81, 1855, Odell and
Lamb killed a man named Edward
Pollard in the Cherokee nation. The
murder was brutal. Pollard was
shot in the head and instantly killed while
he was walking away from his murderers.
At the trial all extraordinary scene was
witnessed. Odell swore that Lamb did the
killing and Lamb denounced Odell as the
murderer. President Cleveland was urged
to commute the sentence OF each to life i'm
prlsonment, but refused to interfere after
carefully examining the evidence John r.
Echols murdered a man in the territory
some time ago. He was regarded as a des-
perate character and. it is claimed, killed sew
eral persons for money, besides having been
implicated in numerous robberies. John
Stephens, a negro. murdered his companion
in the territory some months ago. The
Staying was very brutal, and Stephens
punishment to-day was scarcely fit eXpia-
ton. The only argument used in palliation
Of the crime was Stephens gross ignorance.
He was not, however, without considerable
ShrewdneSS. Since sentence was pro-
nounced, he has claimed to have talked
with visitors from the other world, who as
sured him that his uame was written in the

the room occupied by "Miss Merton" nd
dressed 10 Cluverius. 1t was this that led TO
his arrest. The note read: 81 will be there
as soon as possible so please wait for me"
After the discovery Of the body ana the ar
rest OF Cluverius, who was positively identi-
ned as the man who had called upon Miss
Merton twice on the 18th, it was developed
that she was Cluverius' first cousin. They
had lived in adjoining counties, and were
about the same age She had mentioned him
to some of her female friends as her sweet
heart and said that she expected to marry
him. An examination of the body also de-
Veloped the fact that she was
IN DELICATE CONDITION
There were evidences of a struggle near
the reservoir embankment, and male and fe-
male foot prints were clearly traceable The
dead Woman'S hat was found near a small
poX hospital, few hundred yards off, Her
shawl was found hanging on fence in an
entirely different locality, aud bag contain
ing her clothing was fished OUT of the river
mile from the place of her death. But the
most important and significant find was a
watch key which was positively identified by
a matchmaker as one he had made for Culver
lus while it was recognized as having be-
lOnged to him by numbers of his acquaint-
ances. The trial was lengthy and hotly con
tested. 1t was proven that Cluverius and
Miss Madison were in the neighborhood of
the reservoir on the night of the murder.
The suicide theory was advanced, but
this was disproved by the evidence Of
struggle, and the claim of the accused that
he had not seen the deceased for several
months was clearly shown to be false. A mo-
tive for the crime was Shown in the fact that
he was engaged to an heiresS. The evidence
was purely circumstantial, the accused's
previous good character was in his favor, but
it took the jury but few moments to return
verdict of guilty. An appeal was taken to
the supreme court and the verdict was un ar
imously sustained. The execution was fixed
for last December, but u respite until to day
was granted by the governor. A second re-
spite was asked for a few days ago but re-
fused. Throughout his Imprisonment Gu
Yerius stoutly maintained his innocence, and
yesterday kept up devotional exercises. He
had many believers in his innocence, who
manifested their sympathy in many ways.

BERLIN, Jan. 1.-The fate of the army

adversely to the government, and action
was Immediately taken to dissolve the
chamber. On the reassembling of the
reichstag Herr Won Stauffenberg's amend
ment limiting the duration of the bill to
three years was voted upon. The amend
ment was carried, the vote being 1856 to
154. The Conservatives. Imperals and
National Liberals voted with the minority.
The socialists and most of the Alsatlan
members abstaned from voting. Prince
Bismarck read an imperial message dissolv-
ing the relchstag. An imperial decree was
Issued this afternoon fixing Feb. 81 for the
holding of general elections for members of
the new reichstag. Several meetings OF the
bundesrath have been held recently to de-
eide upon what action should be taken by
that body in the event of defeat of the army
bill in the reichstag. The North German
Gazette, in an article on the dissolution of
the Reichstag, says:
Before all. the German people demand that
every reichstag SNAIL grant without fear or
hesitation what is NECESSARY for the external
and internal security of the empire. Upon
this point common sense will surely teach
that voters will place more value upon the
opinion of the emperor and his advisors than
imperious parliamentary politicians.

DYNAMITE Ex .-LOSaON,

the Cable Road Strike in San Fran.

AHOtheF OuIrd$eh u connection with
the Cable Road Strike in San Fran
cisco.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 14.-The resi-
dents of Post street. between Larkin and
Polk streets. were startled last evening by
the sound of a tremendous explosion and
by the SCATTERING of glass about their ears.
A dynamite cartridge had been placed on
the track of the Larkin street branch line
of the Suffer street cable road, and had eX-
ploded under Dummy No. 81. The dummy
was completely wrecked and the Win
dows of the car and of houses in the
vicinity were demolished. Mr.. A. Hilder-
brandt and his wife and brother were sit
ting on the dummy Oh the side where the
explosion took place. They were all thrown
into the street. and Mrs. Hilderbrandt it is
feared, is seriously injured. She was taken
into a neighboring house and medical as
sistance was summoned. Late in the even
ing she was conveyed to her home. 1t was
a miracle that there were no others injured,
as several persons were on the dummy.
Several persons in the vicinity rushed to
the scene of the disaster and soon a large
crowd congregated. Officer Conboy, who
was Oh the dummy, describing his sensa-
tons. said that the explosion had the effect
of momentarily
STUNNING HIM.
and it was fully half an hour before he re-
covered his hearing. The excitement
caused by this explosion was intensified
when it became known that another explo-
sion had taken place on the Suffer cable
road, near Dupont street, about an hour
later. The explosive, which it is believed
to have been a giant powder cartridge. was
exploded by the dummy wheels running
over it. The dummy was disabled and had
70 be taken to the car house for repairs
1t was replaced by new one, and the road
continued to operate its cars rs usual Curing
the remainder of the night. No one was
injured by the last explosion, as the charge
small. The authorities are entirely
at a loss as to the authors of
these outrages, and have not as yet OBJ
tanned the slightest clue to the perpetrators
of any of these frequent attempts at the de-
struction of life and property on the Geary
and Suffer street cable roads. Three men
who were On the Post street dummy were
bruised, but not seriously hurt. Two men
have been arrested on suspicion of being
concerned in the outrage. Their names can
not be ascertained.
Later in the evening an uneXploded dyna-
mite cartridge was found near Scott street.
on the Geary street road. The cartridge
had evidently been placed on the track, but
had rolled off. Chief Crowley and other
police officials are celebrating as to what
means to take to detect and bring the cul-
prits to justice, and to guard more carefully
against any such acts i'll the future.

principles which prevailed before 1874. He
continued:
If economy is unpopular in Downing street
